this was actually an email reply (the email had pictures and layout like a physical letter but nevertheless it was email, which is why i was surprised it took so long)

So I was watching Nostalgia Critic's Top 11 Simpsons Episodes, reminding me when it was still good. And he used the Mother Simpson song which got me all teary-eyed. And then I remembered when The Simpsons, in addition to being funny, still managed to show that it had actual heart. You know, like some of the best episodes of Futurama? (Poor Seymour... )

Seriously that's some beautiful and very sad music. Actually when I think about it, The Simpsons did sometimes have pretty good incidental music. Kinda surprising but yeah.

Yeah, the Simpsons used to be pretty great. Shame it gradually turned into a shambling zombie of a shell of what it once was.

i think a lot of the (relatively) recent episodes have been the bee's knees

it all depends who's on the writing team that season you dig

i just might win the security deposit thing

i offered a compromise and she said she'll "reconsider" when she gets back in town next week

from what you've said before, it doesn't seem that her word is worth much
but good luck

They retconned this so that but I would agree that end to that episode is one of the single best moments of television ever concieved.

I hope I never see the episode/movie that happened in, because seriously that's pretty bullshit.

Spoiler button does not work on iPhone.

Get a big boy phone then.

It's time to start building useful skills to ease the requirements for co-oping. I'll start Matlab this weekend.

Doesn't work on my Droid either.

yeah the one i did is finicky across the board

Wicked thunderstorm over south side last night. Nothing has been able to wake me up in the 12 1/2 years I've lived in this house, not thunder, not fireworks, not cars crashing into fences, not fireworks or loud mufflers or gunshots. This storm woke me up. Thunder, hail, heavy rain, so many flashes it looked like day.

Few streets flooded nearby, plus the main east/west freeway in the south side. Probably a lot of basements too.

sweet i hope it's still that badass when it rolls through here

it might work better now i tried to fix the javascripts

life is awesome

we trained some more eskrima tonight

then one of the assistant instructors brought a laptop with an emulator for 90s games

so while taking a break we were playing aliens versus predatorors and shit

fuck yeah

Speaking of, what has become of XaLEv?

I wonder if he saved Vals pics.

i don't really want to bring this back to sdn

but i just want to say that d turtle is actually a pretty good moderator in my experience

very fair while strong but not intrusive in the discussions

Most of the mods there are pretty OK in my experience, actually. Shep was the only guy I found really obnoxious, for burning down testing.

Or just quit without drama and let that place suffocate in its own metaphorical fat in peace
